Monitoring supplies for steam autoclaves in dental, medical, foot care, tattoo, nail and veterinary settings.

• Class 5 chemical indicator strips (Type 5 integrators) go inside each pouch or pack and change colour after a complete steam cycle. EBIKO Class 5 strips, 200/pk.
• Class 5 adhesive labels do the same job as the strips, in a stick-on format you can apply to the record or the pack.
• Biological indicators (spore tests) challenge the sterilizer itself with live spores and need a compatible incubator.

Chemical and biological indicators answer different questions. Most monitoring programmes use both.
